Excel & AI Financial-Modeling Sprint

Build a three-statement model, forecast with drivers, run a DCF, and pitch a company like a pro. In this 3-week sprint, GPT helps you work faster—so you can walk away with real valuation skills and a polished investor deck.

The project began by distilling Workiva's 10-K into a one-page business snapshot, then ingested and cleaned historical financials and reconciled three-statement links. It built a three-year driver-based forecast, ran a DCF discounted at 10% WACC, and produced an investor-ready valuation deck with scenario analysis and an implied share price.

Consumer Behavior & Insights Externship with Health-Ade

The same shopper sees 3 bottles in the grocery store: Health-Ade. Bolthouse Farms. Evolution Fresh. Different days, completely different purchases. All are owned by the same company, and their own purchase data can't explain what actually sends a shopper toward kombucha, cold-pressed juice, or a protein smoothie instead of one of the others. They want you to help figure it out: design and run a real survey, benchmark the category's biggest competitors, and build the kind of consulting-style case real firms use to brief executives. If you want to show future hiring managers you understand how to find out what their customer is ACTUALLY thinking, then these 6 weeks are for you.

Consumer ResearchSurvey DesignCompetitive BenchmarkingAI for Data Analysis

Overview

The externship investigated why the same shopper chooses different bottled beverages across trips by designing and fielding original survey research and benchmarking competitors in the category. The work produced a research instrument, analyzed survey responses, and compiled a consulting-style benchmarking brief comparing Health-Ade to major rivals.
